Core offering

FFSFP delivers free first aid education through its MOOC SauvTage (online) and certified in-person PSC1 (Prévention et Secours Civiques Niveau 1) diploma training across France. Its core audience is French law enforcement professionals (police, gendarmerie, customs) who join as members and volunteer to teach first aid, with secondary outreach to the general public via the free MOOC.

Product overview

FFSFP offers a unified training ecosystem combining an online MOOC (SauvTage) with in-person PSC1 diploma certification. The SauvTage MOOC serves as the digital entry point, providing theoretical first aid instruction that users complete at their own pace before attending practical sessions delivered by territorial delegations across France and overseas territories to earn the PSC1 certification.

• SauvTage: Free online first aid course (MOOC) teaching life-saving techniques including protection, alert, choking, hemorrhage control, unconsciousness, cardiac arrest, malaise, wounds, burns, and trauma management.

Products and services

• MOOC SauvTage Free self-paced online first aid course (MOOC) co-developed with Université de Bretagne Occidentale. Covers 10 modules of emergency response skills including protection, alerting emergency services, treating airway obstructions, managing hemorrhages, handling unconsciousness and cardiac arrest, addressing discomfort, wounds, burns, and trauma. Completers receive an attendance certificate (75% quiz pass required) and may pursue hands-on PSC1 diploma training at partner locations. The MOOC has sensitized over 100,000 people to first aid.
• PSC1 Certification (Prévention et Secours Civiques Niveau 1) National French first aid diploma (Prevention and Civil First Aid Level 1) awarded upon completion of practical training. Candidates obtain the diploma after completing the SauvTage MOOC online component followed by hands-on practical training with an FFSFP partner. PSC1 is the official civilian first aid certification recognized across France.

Direct peers

• Croix-Blanche (Fédération des Secouristes Français Croix-Blanche): Croix-Blanche is a historic French first aid federation with widespread territorial delegations that delivers PSC1 and other safety training. It is a direct peer, sharing FFSFP's nonprofit federation structure and instruction mission.
• Protection Civile: Protection Civile is a recognized French first aid and disaster-response association that delivers PSC1 diplomas and runs volunteer first responder units across France. It directly competes with FFSFP for both civic first aid learners and the volunteer instructor pool.
• Ordre de Malte France: Ordre de Malte France operates first aid training, ambulance services, and disaster response programs and is an approved provider of PSC1 courses. It competes directly with FFSFP for first aid training contracts and benefits from a strong national humanitarian brand.
• Association Nationale des Premiers Secours (ANPS): ANPS is a France-wide nonprofit that trains civilians and professionals in first aid and offers PSC1 certification. It is a direct competitor to FFSFP's certification offering, with similar approved-association status and a comparable volunteer + territorial-delegation model.

Others

• European Resuscitation Council (ERC): ERC sets the European standards for CPR and resuscitation training that national organizations like FFSFP align with. While not a direct commercial competitor, it shapes the curriculum and certification framework that FFSFP's PSC1 training must follow.
• France Université Numérique (FUN-MOOC): FUN-MOOC is the French national MOOC platform run by the Ministry of Higher Education. FFSFP's MOOC sauvTage operates on a similar free, open-access model and could be hosted or distributed through FUN-MOOC, making it a peer in the open education infrastructure layer.
• Université de Bretagne Occidentale (UBO): UBO is the academic co-developer of FFSFP's MOOC sauvTage and lends academic credibility and content authoring capacity. It is a strategic partner rather than a competitor, but comparable in the sense that it co-produces the MOOC that is FFSFP's primary digital asset.

Emerging players

• SAUV Life: SAUV Life is a French association that crowdsources citizen response to cardiac arrest via a mobile app and is chaired by FFSFP's National Medical Advisor. While focused on community first responder activation rather than training, it is thematically adjacent and could become a partner or competitor in citizen first-aid education.

Regional players

• Pompiers de France / SDIS (through CFPA): SDIS (fire and rescue services) and their training arm (CFPA - Centre de Formation des Pompiers) deliver a significant share of PSC1 certifications in France, particularly in municipalities. They are a large institutional competitor to FFSFP's territorial delegation training network.

Broad incumbents

• Croix-Rouge française (French Red Cross): The French Red Cross is the dominant national organization delivering PSC1 training and broader first aid certification across France. It is the pre-eminent incumbent in the same certification space FFSFP operates in, with a much larger institutional footprint, paid instructor network, and brand recognition.
